    - virtual destructor So you shouldn't be inheriting from a class with no virtual destructor but if this was always the case then why does the compiler let you do it? -- Best regards Mark Tag: Is there any function that I can use to check the current stack size in VC6.0 Tag: 255860

    - Compiler warnings... I writing some software that makes extensive use of ATL but the compiler is coming up with alot of warningswhile compiling the ATL source code! The warning are C4996 and C4995, they complain about certain functions being deprecated. The question is, is there some compiler option I can switch on to stop these warnings or is it better to go and modify the ATL source and replace the deprecated functions calls with their newer versions? -- Best regards Mark Tag: Is there any function that I can use to check the current stack size in VC6.0 Tag: 255855

    - _write Leaving Out Bytes I am using MS Visual C++ 7.1.3088 on Windows XP 5.1 I have two defined structures, struct1 and struct2 and would like to write them at the beginning of a file. I use the following approach. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <windows.h> #include <io.h> int func(char *csFileName, struct1 s1Struct, struct2 s2Struct) { int iOutputFile; int iBytes2Write, iBytesWritten; if ((iOutputFile = _open(csFileName, _O_WRONLY | _O_BINARY | _O_APPEND | _O_CREAT, _S_IWRITE)) == -1) /* Error handling*/ iBytes2Write = sizeof(struct1); // Size is 40 bytes if ((iBytesWritten = _write(iOutputFile, (void *)&s1Struct, iBytes2Write)) < iBytes2Write) { _close(iOutputFile); // Error handling } iBytes2Write = sizeof(struct2); // Size is 104 bytes if ((iBytesWritten = _write(iOutputFile, (void *)&s2Struct, iBytes2Write)) < iBytes2Write) { _close(iOutputFile); // Error handling } _close(iOutputFile); } For some reason, the first 8 bytes of the second structure are left out. I can tell this by doing an octal dump on Unix. It is quite clear. The last byte of s1Struct is immediately followed by the ninth byte of s2Struct. I could just add an extra 8 bytes before the second structure but would prefer a tidier solution. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Peter.

    - For loop changes in Point structure? Hello, I am trying my first Windows program without copying Petzold's examples, however using what I have learnt, and I seem to have an unexpected result. Basically, I have successfully managed to put a square background with text at the far top right of my client area. Further more you can press the function keys F1 to change the OPAQUE option of the square, F2 for the Brush color of the square and F3 to select one of three possible text colors. How ever when I introduce a simple for loop at the end of my WM_PAINT messge rountine, I get my square being drawn at the far left. I don't know why! And if I remove the for loop it works fine. The for loop just clears an array and has nothing to do with the coordinates of my rectangle function, and yet it seems that the for loop changes these coordinates. I feel guilty having to show all this.... but I am stumped! Please, look for this code: for (j = 0; j < 3; j++) { iTemp[j] = 0; } *IF I REMOVE IT, EVERYTHING WORKS, IF I LEAVE IT IN, IT CHANGES THE POINT COODINATES OF MY RECTANGLE!!!!???!!!???

    - C4311 and reinterpret_cast I'm in the unfortunate situation of needing to interface with a library that I can't change. To document the non-portable typecasts, I have been using cast operators. However, I'm unable to silence C4311 with reinterpret_cast. No other cast operator is appropriate. Is there a two-step mechanism to deal with C4311 without offending VC++ 7.1? CMsgReceiverQueueIterator itr = m_qParentReceiverList.begin (); while ( itr != m_qParentReceiverList.end () ) { CNkvMessageReceiver * thisRec = *itr; // warning C4311: 'reinterpret_cast' : pointer truncation from 'std::allocator<_Ty>::value_type' to 'ULONG' NkvMessage (reinterpret_cast <ULONG> (*itr)); itr++; } Thanks in advance, - Ashok Thirumurthi Tag: Is there any function that I can use to check the current stack size in VC6.0 Tag: 255825

    - NTFS streams and document summary info. Can anyone point me to some information about NTFS streams and in particular what the format is for the information (author keywords etc) which you can add by right clicking on a document file in Windows Explorer, and using "Properties"? Coming into the 21st century, I thought I'd give my program some knowledge of this. I was pointed to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnfiles/html/ntfs5.asp which tells how to enumerate the streams associated with a file using the ::BackupRead() API. I did this with a document file to which I had added some information. The results are interesing. The streams are (1) "" (which I guess is the main stream) (2) ":DocumentSummaryInformation:$DATA" (3) ":SummaryInformation:$DATA" (4) ":{4c8cc155-6c1e-11d1-8e41-00c04fb9386d}:$DATA" Numbers 2 and 3 look promising except that the 2nd character in each is Unicode character 5 - which is a control character which I didn't expect to find there. (Lord knows what he last one is - I looked - just in case - for the ID in my registry, but it doesn't seem to be there.) Some particular questions arise: Are the stream names the same in all language versions of Windows? What is the character 5 doing there? What is the format of the information stored by the shell in these streams? There must surely be some information on this somewhere?

    - File Copy Problem!!! Hi, I am creating a shell namespace extension to show FTP files. I implemented cut / copy and paste using CFSTR_FILECONTENTS and CFSTR_FILEDESCRIPTOR. I implemented IDataObject and IStream for this. After copying, when I choose to paste the files, I am getting all the files, But the problem is that, the directory structure is not retained. If I am copying a folder say "Test", which contains 2 files 1. a.txt 2. b.txt When I choose paste, I am getting 2 files ( a.txt and b.txt ) and a folder ( Test ) in the same place. In fact it should have been folder "Test" and the two files inside "Test". But that is not happening. I believe I am missing something here... Could somebody please help me in resolving this.

    - casting... at runtime? This Seems to be pattern I run into a Lot an I don't know how to fix it without a lot of "else if" statements.

Class CHelper { public: void SetObj(CBase* newVal); private: CBase* m_obj; } /////////////////////////////// // newVal could be anything // CBase, CDerived1 , CDerived2....etc void CHelper::SetObj(CBase* newVal) { CRuntimeClass* newClass = newVal->GetRuntimeClass(); CBase* newObj = (CBase*)dragClass->CreateObject(); newObj->CopyFrom(newObj); } //this does not work as one might expect //because the last line Always calls //CBase::CopyFrom(CBase* other); //regardless of the runtime class of "newVal". I can alway change the last line to something like this this if (newVal->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CDerived1))) newObj->CopyFrom((CDerived1*) newObj); if (newVal->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CDerived2))) newObj->CopyFrom((CDerived2*) newObj); if (newVal->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CBase))) newObj->CopyFrom((CBase*) newObj); Or I could Over ride CopyFrom(CBase* other); for all the Derived Classes. but what I REALY would like to do is cast "newVal" to its runtime class at runtime, without knowing what it will be at compile time. So how do I case a class to a class at runtime, when I don't know the class at compile time? is this possible? if not is what is the logic behind it? why is what I want to do a bad idea? thanks how Tag: Is there any function that I can use to check the current stack size in VC6.0 Tag: 255773

    - winsock2.h and inclusion order I get a weird problem when I include winsock2.h before my own util.h, which defines some general (templated) utility functions in it's own namespace. The compiler (embedded visual C++) gives me a few syntax errors on my util.h file when I include winsock2.h first. However, when I include them in the other order (so first util.h, then winsock.h), everything is fine. I am most puzzled. Is there some issue with winsock2.h? Actually, it behaves the same way with winsock.h. I can hardly believe there's a quirk in a header as often used as winsock, but the error can't really be in my own code, since it's really simple, clear code, which works fine in other circumstances. Any ideas? regards Mark NB: if this is not the correct newsgroup for this question, feel free to boot me to the correct one.

    - for(;;) scope Hi everyone! Revising some code I've found this: for(int i=0; i<m_aArray.GetSize(); i++) { ... if(bCondition) break; } if( i==m_aArray.GetSize()) { // The condition was not satisfied so do whatever ... } That caused an ASSERT(HowCanItBe) into my brain. If "i" is declared into the "for", how is possible to use it later? The code compile right, so Was I wrong thinking that "i" _is_declared_ into the "for"? Then, talking with the partners at work someone pointed out that in VS you can do it, but in C++Builder it wouldn't compile. The question is What is the standard? And how are declared that kinds of variables? Thank you in advance. Regards. Tag: Is there any function that I can use to check the current stack size in VC6.0 Tag: 255750

    - Operator Overloading I know that you can overload objects, but can the standard data types (integers, short, long, floats, etc.) have their = operator overloaded? I am developing a client server data application in C++ and I don't want to poll to see if the data has changed. I was thinking that overlaoding the = operator would indicate when there has been a change. Ofcourse I could make my own classes, but I have tens of thousands of lines of code that use the standard data types. Bascially, I just want to know what data has been changed and update it to the server without changing my exisitng code if possible. Is it possible to have an event triggered when a variable is changed? Overloading the = operator would be the same idea. Just wondering if there is something in MFC or the C++ language that would tell me when the value of a variable changes. The catch is that it has to be efficent too since my app has 750,000 variables. Are there any low level hooks into the OS that would help? I know its asking a lot, but does anyone have any ideas?

The 'BaseFramework' project builds just fine, but my problem is that when I try to build project B I get a lot LNK2019 errors saing that the linker cannot resolve the C functions that the 'BaseFramework' project is using, like this: BaseFramework.lib(InetAddress.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _htonl@4 referenced in function "public: __thiscall BaseFramework::Wrapper::Net::InetAddress::InetAddress(unsigned short)" (??0InetAddress@Net@Wrapper@BaseFramework@@QAE@G@Z) Does anybody have clue as to what I should do? /Regards Rasmus Tag: Is there any function that I can use to check the current stack size in VC6.0 Tag: 255741

    - using PRINTDLGEX API call to select a printer I'm new to API calls & using Visual C++, I have tried using this code (see below) from the MSDN website, but get compile errors right at the first line: : error C2065: 'LPPRINTDLGEX' : undeclared identifier : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'pPDX' : error C2065: 'pPDX' : undeclared identifier we are using VFP 6.0 and using the older PrintDLG API call but are getting an intermittent problem (which is happening more & more as more of our users are using Window XP) where selecting a printer doesn't work. With Win9X we just used to run in a loop in VFP to get the user to select the printer again and it would normally be OK. I'm trying to use 'PPRINTDLGEX' instead to see if this solves the problem.

    - LoadLibrary("rsaenh.dll") succeeds in Debugger, fails otherwise (Win I call LoadLibrary("rsaenh.dll") from a huge MFC MDI application (which is done implicitly by CryptAcquireContext(), my actual target API call :)). On Windows 2003 Server it fails, GetLastError() yields 0x000003E6 == 998 == ERROR_NOACCESS ("Invalid access to memory location") which probably means an access violation during dll startup. But if I connect a remote debugger (msvcmon -anyuser -tcpip) just before the LoadLibrary() call, it succeeds. Also on WinXP and Win2000 Server the call succeeds (even without debugger). Calling LoadLibraryEx() with DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES succeeds also on Win2003 Server, but a subsequent CryptAcquireContext() fails, supposedly because the library is not fully loaded. I obtained a hot fix from Microsoft support which seems to fit my problem (see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;899750&sd=rss&spid=3198), but unfortunately it didn't help.

    - catching messages for control in dialog I am creating a dialog without MFC and have run into yet another problem. When I make my call to DialogBoxParam() to create and show the dialog, I supply it with a function that will handle the messages from the dialog. This has been working fine and things are coming along, until... I wanted to catch mouse messages for my list view that is in the dialog. If I click anywhere else in the dialog, I can catch the button down message, but if I click in the list view area, the message is not sent to the function. Where is it sent? I can only supply one DLGPROC so I'm not sure what to do at this point. Anyone have any ideas?

    - explicit member template function specialization Hi, I have a problem with a template function inside a class (no template). The template parameter of the class is a policy class. But the explicit specialization of the template function does not work. Visual C++ 7.1 compiler said that the function cannot be explicitly specialized. But the same code compiles with the Comeau online compiler successfully. Here's a simplyfied version of the code (with same effect Comeau -> ok, VC++ 7.1 -> error): class Policy1 { public: typedef int type; }; class Policy2 { public: typedef long type; }; class ClassX { public: template<typename PolicyT> bool func(typename PolicyT::type arg); }; template<> bool ClassX::func<Policy1>(Policy1::type arg) { /* do something */ return true; } template<> bool ClassX::func<Policy2>(Policy2::type arg) { /* do something */ return true; } int main() { ClassX x; x.func<Policy1>(12); } Can anyone tell me, why this does not work (with VC++7.1)?

    - to load a user's profile without logging in Hi everyone, Could anyone help me with the problem while unistallation. I want to delete entries from HKCU(HKUsers) corresponding to each and every user's account present on my local computer. Right now i am not able to load the ussers profile as i am using LoadUserProfile. The problem which i feel is that this function requires the token to a loggedon user(using LogonUser) , but i just want to load the profile without asking for the password. So is there any method of 1 ) Getting the user's account token without really asking for his password 2 ) Loading the users profile by any mechanism to make some changes to it without asking the user for the password. help on the above topic will be really appreciated.

    - Property sheet behaviour OnApply In a tabbed dialogue, I make changes on various PropertySheets and press Apply. The standard recommendation at this stage seems to be to send the PropertySheet a PSM_CANCELTOCLOSE message, which (despite its name) disables the cancel button and turns the OK button into Close. This seems crazy. For if I now make any more changes in the PropertySheets, there is no going back. The "Close" button accepts them and the "Cancel" button is no longer available. A far more sensible behaviour (which is sort of suggested by the name of the message) would be to change the "Cancel" button into "Close" and leave the "OK" alone. Question: *is* this more sensible or am I missing something. Of course I can implement this behaviour with SetWindowText() on the Cancel button, but as there is no message to do it automatically, I am in danger of getting the English text "Close" on the button no matter what the language of the user. I can avoid this (I reckon) by the slightly devious method in the PropertySheet: CString sOk; CString sClose; CWnd *pWndOk = GetDlgItem( IDOK ); CWnd *pWndCancel = GetDlgItem( IDCANCEL ); if( pWndOk && pWndCancel ) { pWndOk->GetWindowText( sOk ); // Get "OK" text SendMessage(PSM_CANCELTOCLOSE); // "Ok" -> "Close" pWndOk->GetWindowText( sClose ); // Get "Close" text. pWndCancel->SetWindowText( sClose ); // "Cancel" -> "Close" pWndOk->SetWindowText( sOk ); // Reset "Ok" -> "Ok" pWndCancel->EnableWindow(TRUE); // Don't disable cancel. } but doing so makes me feel a little unclean, as I am sneakily bypassing what Mr Gates tells me to do. Someone please tell me it's ok!

    - malloc() & page boundaries -- Difference between VC6 and VC7 CRT? I was wondering if anyone knew of any changes in the CRT that would cause malloc behavior to change between code built with VC6/VC7? We discovered a segfault bug in production code built with VC6 that was not crashing frequently at all. We fixed the bug, but in the meantime, our builds were in the process of being switched to VC7. In the VC7 built code, the same crash occurs much more frequently. This alarmed us, so we are investigating why VC7 behavior would differ so much from VC6. The nature of the bug is such that many small buffers (~16 bytes) are being malloc'd but the bug causes the code to read past the end of the buffer by 8 bytes. Straightforward, and this crashes whenever the address to the 17th byte lives on the next memory page which happens to not be allocated. The issue is in VC6 built code, this bug rarely occurs, almost as if the memory allocation never allocates that close to an invalid page, or never completely fills up an entire page. When the code is built in VC7, the crash occurs very, very frequently, as if the 16 bytes are being allocated at the end of the page prior to an invalid one. My question is if anything regarding malloc or the heap changed between VC6/VC7 that could be behind this. Do any of the compiler optimization flags affect malloc's ability to alloc up to the last available byte in a page? We have discovered the source of the bug in remote code and have fixed it, but we are questioning if it is safe to move to VC7 so quickly.

Try this

MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION mbi;
LPBYTE pHere = (LPBYTE)&pHere;

::VirtualQuery(pHere, &mbi, sizeof mbi);

// mbi.AllocationBase is the numerically lowest address of the stack
// region, i.e., where it can grow down to.
return pHere - (LPBYTE)mbi.AllocationBase;
